US official sees tighter sanctions on Iran without deal

TEHRAN, Apr. 09 (MNA) – US Energy Secretary Chris Wright says that Iran can expect tighter sanctions if it does not come to an agreement with President Donald Trump on its nuclear program.

“So absolutely, I would expect very tight sanctions on Iran, and hopefully drive them to abandon their nuclear program,” Wright says in an interview with CNBC.

Wright on Wednesday will launch a nearly two-week tour of three Middle East countries, including Saudi Arabia, marking his first visit as a US official to the de facto leader of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.
